Cardinals Organization Roster Matrix: 2016-2017 Off-Season

NOTE: As of 03/13/17, this version of the roster matrix is no longer current. It reflects the changes during the 2016-2017 off-season. It should now be considered a historical reference document. For the active roster matrix for 2017 spring training, click here.

With the completion of the 2016 World Series and the opening of the free agent season – it is time for another refresh of the Roster Matrix.

This version will reflect the changes made from the start of the 2016-2017 off-season until spring training. The previous matrix reflects the rosters as they evolved during the 2016 short season through the post-season.

If you are new to the blog and not familiar with the Cardinals organization roster matrix, here is quick summary:

As the 2016 season ended, the St. Louis Cardinals had 301 players under contract from top to bottom, including 38 players on the 40-man roster and four players on the 60-day disabled list. The latter are called out in bold. The matrix places each of them at his assigned level in the system as well as by position. It is kept updated daily or as transactions occur.

Free agents are noted separately and not included in the organization totals until official.

Nowhere else will you find this current and comprehensive single-page view of the entire Cardinals organization – plus multiple years of history.

(Do not be concerned about the order of the players’ names within position. It has no relative significance.)
